I've already found rdist and rsync, both which appear to do what I want.. Ideally the solution will scan for changed files several times during the day and update them automatically.. the syncronization doesn't HAVE to be live, although that would be nice. Could anyone recommend a "best" solution for what I'm trying to do? cc: to my address please.
